Chapter 1075: Desperate Laughter

In the blink of an eye, countless demonic vines burst forth from the ground.

Within a relatively confined area, these martial artists didn't even have time to flee!

The countless demonic vines shot into the sky, sealing off all their escape routes.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The purple-black demonic vines tightly bound these people, not a single one escaping, including Ye Yuan and Ye Qing!

In an instant, they were completely wiped out!

Ye Yuan had thought of merging with heaven and earth, but the demonic vines gave him no chance, directly knocking him out of the void.

Ye Yuan's hands and feet were completely restrained, and he couldn't muster a shred of primal force!

This Sacred Mother Demonic Vine was truly too bizarre.

The Sacred Mother Demonic Flower had not been killed by Ye Qing at all; instead, it had seeped into the ground, just to prepare for this final strike.

The more those martial artists killed, the more scattered they became, and the stronger the vines grew, making it harder to pick them off one by one.

But the Sacred Mother Demonic Flower and Jia Lan had put on a grand show, feigning weakness, fooling everyone.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

...

Screams rang out incessantly as the remaining martial artists were drained of their essence blood one by one.

As for Ye Yuan and Ye Qing, the demonic vines seemed to have no intention of acting on them for now.

That enchanting beauty emerged from the demonic vines, coming before Ye Yuan and Ye Qing, with Jia Lan following closely behind.

"Giggle, little brats still wet behind the ears, trying to play tricks with this Sacred Mother? You're still too green!" the beauty giggled.

This beauty was enchantingly seductive, slender and lithe, her green robe half-revealing, enough to steal one's soul at a single glance.

Her laugh was even more bewitchingly charming.

But at this moment, Ye Yuan had no mood to appreciate her beauty; this demoness was no pushover—she was a life-threatening existence.

The demoness gently caressed Ye Qing's cheek and said with a smile, "Little Green Spirit Tree boy, even your ancestor was no match for me, let alone you! I gave you some benefits, and you knew to repay kindness by leading so many people here. How can I ever thank you enough!"

Ye Qing glared at the demoness, baring his teeth and snarling, "You despicable, treacherous woman, I will kill you with my own hands!"

The demoness was completely unperturbed, still giggling, "How do I hear that as a compliment? Little boy, you can't even save yourself now, and you still think of killing me?"

"Shameless!" Ye Yuan spat.

The demoness turned to Ye Yuan, her breath fragrant as orchid, and said with a light laugh, "Little boy, you're quite impressive! Everyone was fooled by the Dao Fruit, but you alone kept your true heart. That's no easy feat. It's just a pity your strength is a bit lacking; otherwise, you might have posed a real threat to this Sacred Mother."

At this, Jia Lan stepped forward and said to the demoness, "Sacred Mother, this child is the Son of Destiny of this era. Not only does he possess the peerless Heaven's Will Stele, but even the lost Soul-Calming Pearl of the Heavenly Unity Sect is in his hands! He cannot be spared. Sacred Mother, you should kill him as soon as possible."

Hearing this, even the demoness was greatly shocked.

"What did you say? The Heaven's Will Stele and the Soul-Calming Pearl—both are in his hands?" The demoness's voice rose an octave as she looked at Ye Yuan in astonishment.

Jia Lan nodded, "Absolutely true."

He recounted the events of a few years ago when the seal was first broken, leaving the demoness utterly amazed.

The Heaven's Will Stele and the Soul-Calming Pearl were existences that could threaten the demon race, yet they were gathered in one person's hands, showing how powerful Ye Yuan's fortune was.

"As you say, this child absolutely cannot be spared! Very well, I'll kill him now! Once the Son of Destiny dies, no one can stop the rise of our demon race!" the demoness said.

Without any visible action from the demoness, the demonic vines began madly devouring Ye Yuan's essence blood.

The vines seemed to take root in his body, growing directly into his flesh, draining the blood from his entire body.

Ye Yuan's body began to shrivel rapidly, just like the other martial artists.

This demoness was truly ruthless, killing without blinking, not wasting a single word.

At this moment, all of Ye Yuan's primal force was suppressed, and he couldn't muster the slightest strength.

Ye Yuan knew that if this continued, he would surely die!

Gritting his teeth, Ye Yuan poured all his emperor qi into the Heaven's Will Stele.

"Boom!"

A terrifying power from the primordial age suddenly awakened within Ye Yuan, directly blasting the demoness and Jia Lan away.

The demonic vines shattered under this irresistible force, turning into a cloud of dust.

The demoness's expression changed drastically, "Not good, this kid can already control the Heaven's Will Stele!"

Ye Yuan roared, "Heaven's Will Stele, suppress!"

The Heaven's Will Stele immediately flew out from the Heaven's Will Tower, like a giant mountain, pressing down toward the demoness and Jia Lan.

"Boom!"

The earth trembled as the Heaven's Will Stele directly pinned the demoness and Jia Lan beneath it.

Ye Yuan was well aware that the suppression of the Heaven's Will Stele carried the power of laws. It had once matched the Great Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation blow for blow.

Using it to suppress a few demonic creatures should be no problem.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

The demonic vines receded like a tide once more, but this time, only a handful of martial artists survived.

Even a Void Profound powerhouse like Sword Thirteen was now half-dead, with only a breath left.

How could those Divine King powerhouses possibly survive?

However, Ye Yuan had no time to care about them. He had lost forty percent of his essence blood in one go, plus the ten percent lost earlier from using the Sacred Dragon Token—half of his essence blood was gone.

On top of that, activating the Heaven's Will Stele had drained all his emperor qi.

Now, Ye Yuan was utterly listless, barely hanging on by a thread.

This demoness was too terrifying; in just half a day, nearly fifty thousand martial artists had been slaughtered by her!

Ye Qing, on the other hand, was in much better shape than Ye Yuan.

He came over to support Ye Yuan, saying apologetically, "Sorry, it... it was my negligence."

Ye Yuan smiled bitterly, "It's not your fault. This demoness is too cunning. Besides, she's an existence that even the ancient greats couldn't handle—how could she be killed so easily?"

Before he finished speaking, the Heaven's Will Stele suddenly began to tremble violently.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan and Ye Qing's expressions changed drastically.

Could this demoness still have strength left?

The Heaven's Will Stele was Ye Yuan's last resort. If it didn't work, they could only wait for death.

Ye Yuan's face turned extremely grim, but things were still heading in the worst possible direction.

"Giggle, what a pity... You can only barely activate the Heaven's Will Stele, unable to use even a ten-thousandth of its power. It's not enough to suppress and kill this Sacred Mother! Boy, you can die now!" The demoness's seductive voice suddenly rang out, filling Ye Yuan and Ye Qing with despair.
